A Quick End of the World NBA Round Up - December 20th, 2012.

Well, if you are reading this right now, it probably means that the World is still in one piece, and no one died a Mayan-Predicted death. Or, the end of the world follows time zones in which case, you have 11 minutes left to live (that is assuming you are reading this at 6:00 am PST). In lighter news, Kevin Love finally breaks a shooting slump. He had 28 points (9 of 20 shooting), 11 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 blocks and the win to snap Oklahoma City Thunder's winning streak. Honorable Mention: To LeBron James's 24 points (9 of 13), 9 rebounds, 5 assists and W against the Dallas Mavericks.

Top of the Backboard, Ma: Kevin Durant is so good, he doesn't even when he scores.

Touchdown: Dwyane Wade showed off his arm in front of the Heisman Trophy winner. LeBron further proves that he would legitimately dominate football too.

Trend Alert: Dunking without actually touching the rim with your hands is now the cool thing to do.

Out of Range: The Denver Nuggets set a new NBA record for most 3-point attempts without a make, against the Portland Trail Blazer, who held the previous record of 0-20. This is one of those end of the world stats. The Nuggets didn't have a single point outside the paint until Ty Lawson hit a jumper with 38 seconds left in the game. Crisis averted. Still lost to the Blazers though. (Via:@johnschuhmann)
